Known as the “birthplace of America’s commercial railroad,” the Stourbridge Line is steeped in history dating back to 1829 when it was first constructed. The restored, vintage train cars enhance the experience, transporting passengers back to a bygone era of rail travel. As you ride along, you’ll see the history of the railroad come to life, with informative tours and a chance to learn about the important role the Stourbridge Line played in America’s industrial revolution.

Beyond the regular scenic trips, the Stourbridge Line, open from March through the holiday season, hosts special seasonal events throughout the year, making it a great year-round destination for families and visitors. Kids can ride the rails with the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus during special holiday trips. In the fall, enjoy the spectacular colors of NEPA’s foliage on special fall rides, where the changing leaves make for a breathtaking backdrop. The train also offers excursions to local festivals and events, including those in Hawley and around Lake Wallenpaupack.

Whether you’re looking to explore the region’s history, enjoy the great outdoors, or experience the magic of holiday-themed rides, the Stourbridge Line is a fun and educational way to enjoy all that Honesdale and the surrounding areas have to offer.
